[Solved] Pinwheel Freeze with Graphics Card on High Sierra Build

[cmn699]

Alright, so I was able to put in those fixes. I completely uninstalled the Nvidia drivers I had on my system and re-downloaded.

My version of OS X is 10.13.2 (17C88). The build is for iMac, I believe.

The corresponding Nvidia driver is WebDriver-378.10.10.25.102.pkg.

It is re-installed on my computer. I can switch to the Webdrivers using the Preference pain plugging or the Nvidia Driver Manager Preference app which results in a reboot. When OSX relaunches I still don't have correct resolution or graphics support, and the Nvidia Driver Manager still shows "OS X Default Graphics Driver".

• Please upload the config.plist from your current CLOVER of the System disk .

BIOS - Disable Integrated Graphics - PEG as Primary
Use a digital connection to your monitor - VGA is not supported.
Boot with nv_disable=1
Install Nvidia Web Drivers
Config.plist - Do not inject Intel or Nvidia graphics and no ig-platform-id
Edit config.plist - NvidiaWeb = true as per Link
May need to emulate NVRAM - Problem 6 (Install EmuVariableUefi-64 + RC Scripts)
Remove nv_disable=1 from config.plist
MacPro 6,1 or iMac 15 or iMac 17 System Definition need black screen fix as per Link

Glad you got help before I could login to find your CLOVER to check your config.plist .
Congrats

I picked up a second hand bcm94360cd bluetooth and wifi network adapter, mated with a PCI express card. It appears to be the same as are sold on OSXWifi.com. The bluetooth side is working just fine, I even have an Apple Magic Trackpad 2 and a Magic Keyboard connected.
